Everybody needs a rock -- by Byrd Baylor....about picking a rock for yourself. Take a walk and choose a rock then use the skills learned in the kit to observe the rock. Use a field guide to see if it can be identified. Can you determine if it is sedamentary, Igneus, or metamorphic. Rocks in his head -- by Hurst-- as a springboard into geologists and mineralogists and what they do.
Why do we study rocks? What can rocks tell us about our planet?
